Slate

This fine-grained metamorphic rock came from ash that settled countless years ago. Now, it is nestled in large pockets all beneath the surface of specific mountains.

Generation
Slate only generates in the Snowdonia biome, speckling its tall cliffs with flecks of deep black. It is also the building block that makes up the Wizard Towers and Slate Dungeons.

Decoration
Like many of the earthly materials in the world, they can be crafted into various different blocks for building and decoration. Mining Slate will simply drop Slate, as Slate Cobblestone is currently unobtainable. Putting this into a stonecutter will show you all the recipes available. Putting Vines or Willows together with Slate items will turn them mossy. One special Slate block is Welsh Slate. To craft this block, you'll need to acquire a Heart of Y Ddraig Goch. A more effective use of the Heart would be to trade with a Wizard, who will give a lot of valuable Welsh stone designs in return. Additionally, another block type that is unique to Slate is that of Slate Tiles, crafted using 4 Polished Slate. This new pattern, paired with normal Slate Bricks, can reckon in all sorts of creative combinations of patterning.
